BTW, this (ugh) macro (yuck, bleah) will return the size of an array:



#define size_of_array(a) (sizeof(a)/sizeof((a)[0]))

then you use size_of_array(my_array).

Also, you may want to avoid ugliness with arrays and macros by switching to
C++. The Standard Library vector realloc()s itself as needed and has a
member function size().
